So how does it work? I have 2 tickets to Liverpool and Fulham away, both with Season Tickets with loyalty points of 350+.

Fulham = Row ZZ
Liverpool = Row 32

My problem is, Fulham yeah, wont be too bad a view, Liverpool Anfield Road End Row 32 I will struggle to see the goal the opposite end where as someone with a lillywhite membership with 5 loyalty points will have the unfortunate event of getting general sale tickets in Rows 1-5 with full visibility. Bit pissed off with the Away Ticket allocation system, the loyalty is lost in the ticket selling it seems and no research has gone into what the fans want and what the opposition grounds are like.

then wait for them to go on general sale and chance your luck to see ifyou can get them, at least with a seat in row 32 you have a seas safe, everyone else with lower points have tofight it out and may missout if theyarnt quick enough

a) you're guaranteed a seat though

b) have you ever sat in the front 5 rows? it's shit. you can't see the bye line at the far end and you never know how close people are to the far end of the pitch. and you have stewards bothering you trying to get you to sit down at half the grounds. i used to always get put on the front 10 rows and it annoyed me. now i seem to have graduated to further back, and it is definitely better. there are a couple of grounds like OT where i've been up in the nosebleed section and the players are very small to the naked eye, but not many grounds are that big.

Can see where you are coming from mate but hey, at least you get a ticket!
I went to the Cup Semi with Burnley away last year on a season ticket with 370points ish. Stuck right towards the back and must have had the only seat in the ground where there was a leak in the roof directly above my head :cry:

I see where you are coming from but the point is, with Anfield rows 30+ are known to be poor for fans due to the roof, when the crowd stand up the far end of the pitch is barely visible due to the roof, a picture taken from the back rows:

I just think a bit of research needs to go into the away ends of grounds, getting these seats would surely be a restricted view seat and not £38 as I have paid, obviously I might not get these and I might be lucky and get something like this:

But this looks a few rows forward, around the 25 mark possibly, and you would still lose the ball when it goes in the air half the time!

I have sent an email to the ticket office so will wait to see if they reply. I doubt they will.

I also don't mind front 10 rows either. White Hart Lane is a bit different as you have the screen to view at times!
